What is Diglycerides?
Diglycerides, also known as diacylglycerols, are a type of fat that is commonly used as a food additive. The partial hydrogenation of vegetable oils or the enzymatic breakdown of triglycerides produces them. Diglycerides are often used as an emulsifier or stabilizer in various food products, such as baked goods, dairy products, and peanut butter. They help improve these products texture, flavor, and shelf life.
